Lesson 9
Objective
Recognize and generate equivalent fractions with larger units using visual models.
Anchor Tasks - Problem 1
a. What fraction of the rectangle below is shaded?
b. Laura says that $${{1\over4}}$$ of the model is shaded. Do you think she is correct? Explain why or why not by using the picture.
Anchor Tasks - Problem 2
A point is shown on the number line diagram below.
Write three equivalent fractions that name this point.
Anchor Tasks - Problem 3
Solve for the missing value.
a. $${{8\over24}={\square\over6}}$$
b. $${{32\over10}={16\over\square}}$$
